I want to get less reliant on my phone and go out more without it. One of the big use cases for my phone is music.

I have a lot of local music files and I would like to transfer them to a mp3 player. I would prefer something offline that I can drag files too. Also Bluetooth would be a plus so I can continue to use my earbuds.

Something easy to navigate would be ideal too. Basically like what iPods were like with a small screen where you can navigate easily and see album artwork.

By your logic we all should get those devices that you wear so it can auto call if you fall down.

It's more like a "if I already have one, why not throw it in my handbag just in case", since if that the 1 time out of 1000000 that I'll need it, having a phone with me might save my life.

I don't have a phone addiction so bringing it with me won't cause any issue

Might as well stay home. That is the safest thing to do.

Just throwing in that little 130-200g device into your pack doesn't modify/impact the activity you are going to do. It's just extra safety.
